Exactly. It is the users fault. If all third party apps are forced to
implement OAuth it would save users from this fault to s
Why would it be hosted in your app? Why can't you open Safari?
Obviously Safari is *more* trusted. But if you've already installed
an untrusted app onto your machine, the untrusted app has enough power
to keylog, brute force your keychain (or other password db), send

Srikanth,
Thank you for your thoughts -- good ones. Responses:
But what if the app was developed by some thirdparty devs? you never
know whether the password is stored or logged some where.
I'm not sure who the "third party" is relative to -- if you are the
